There is a gift so simple that it requires no ribbons for wrapping, yet which is so miraculous, it has the power to transform our lives. This is The Gift of Story, from Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, eminent psychoanalyst and author of the #1 bestseller Women Who Run With the Wolves. As a cantadora - keeper of the old stories in the Latina tradition - Dr. Estés has crafted a series of interlinking stories, which speak to the question, "What is enough?" These are healing stories born of deep suffering and handed down to Dr. Estés by her elders.The Gift of Story is a treasure of love and wisdom about the bounty we have to give when there is nothing left to give; how love survives regardless of loss; and how the simple gestures are often the most rich. Heart-warming and fertile with strong symbols, The Gift of Story is a seed that will bear a rich and lasting fruit within your own family. As Dr. Estés says, "Though none of us will live forever, our stories can. As long as one soul remains who can tell the story ... the greater forces of love, mercy, generosity and strength are continuously called into being in the world."
